Organizing Solutions in Victoria, BC

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be around while you organize?

It is important for you to work closely with us during the de-cluttering process as we do not throw away or donate your items without your approval. However we do understand that you are busy and although we prefer you to be available, depending on the task we can implement organizational systems, stage, pack or unpack without your direct involvement.

What are your accepted methods of payment?

We currently accept cash, cheque or e-transfer.

What is your availability? Do you work weekends?

We do! With sufficient notice we can work with your schedule.

How do we begin working together?

Complimentary consultation (a telephone consultation if more than 20-30 minutes outside of the Victoria area). This is when you will tell us about your home, your specific needs and what you would like to accomplish by working together. Depending on the job, I can give you an estimate of how many hours/days it will take to complete the job. This way, we can work within your budget.

Once we have agreed upon a date and time, we dive right in! I will come to your home and we will work together to create a space you will love!

Upon completion of the task, I will email you an invoice and you have 14 days to complete payment!

Do I need to do anything to prepare for your visit?

Nope! You can simply relax and enjoy the idea of your dream space becoming a reality! Its important that we see your space on a typical day so we can assist you where you need it most and create a functional space designed for you and your family.

What happens to the items I decide to discard or donate?

Space In Your Place will happily take all discarded or donated items (within reason) away from your home and donate to many of the charities around the Victoria area.

What exactly does a Professional Organizer do?

“A professional organizer supports and empowers clients through the creative and ethical application of organizing systems and processes, and the transfer of organizing skills, to develop appropriate and lasting solutions for their individual needs.”

Testimonials

I desperately needed Rachel's help, and she delivered! She helped create a functional, organized kitchen where only chaos existed before. Even now, weeks later, it's still clean, because its now easy to clean up! Everything has a place, and it all looks great! Thank you so much!

"Working with Space in your Place was so amazing! She made it so easy to get rid of unused items and organized my daughters room in a way that makes it easy and fun for her to tidy up. I would highly recommend Space in your Place, and look forward to utilizing her organizational skills again!"

Roberta, Victoria BC

"This service is so awesome! My garage never looked so good and I felt so organized. Summer has literally gotten easier now that all I have to do is grab a box and toss it in my car for different activities and put it right back when I get home. Looking forward to the rest of my house!!! Can't say enough good things here"

"I have nothing but great things to say about Rachel & Space in your place!
She helped me reorganize my master closet (which I had avoided dealing with for a while). Happy to say it is (still) a functional organized space!
It's honestly the best feeling to have that closet purged and organized, I wish now I did it sooner. Rachel made the overwhelming situation (that I had procrastinated for a while) effortless for me by checking in with me along the way to see how I was doing, gave some great tips and suggestions along the way too.

You will not be disappointed if you hire Rachel to help you with any room in your house"

Rachel Freeman from Space in your Place Organizing came out to our home and it was amazing. It was like having a good friend sit down with you - separate things into keep, donate and trash, and talked with me about new ways to change up my systems that were failing (LAUNDRY!!). She was kind enough to take the stuff that I set aside for donation too. And thank goodness because otherwise those bags would've sat in my car's trunk for who knows how long.
I'm hoping to save money and set up a few visits for my own parents so they can get a handle on their garage and craft/laundry room (as a Christmas gift).
I highly recommend her - very professional, non-judgmental, friendly and great at what she does.
